Tim answered,

Procmail does not add any headers (except that it might lengthen 'From ' by
adding a '>From ' below it). It may be reading an rcfile that has filtering
recipes whose commands add other headers.
The usual answer for these pager forwards problems is to filter a copy
through a formail command that keeps only a couple of the most valuable
headers (such as From: and Subject:) and pipes them and the body to $SENDMAIL
to the pager's address, much as Bart illustrated, but perhaps being more
severe in restricting the headers passed to the pager, such as
:0c
* ^TO_urgent(_at_)mydomain
* ! ^FROM_DAEMON
| formail -k -XFrom: -XSubject: | $SENDMAIL 111111(_at_)152mail(_dot_)com
Even Date: isn't important to preserve, because the pager will have its own
timestamp on the message.
